Great Sasuke & Masao Orihara vs Gedo & Dick Togo (M-Pro - 11/2/01)
This came out of nowhere and kicked me right in the balls. I know Jetlag has had really positive things to say about Orihara in the past and I've been poking around at some matches and he's a really great wrestler with some terrific matches. I fucking loved this. Just an old school southern style tag with Orihara getting isolated and bloodied by these little pricks who are more than happy to just punch this weird punk in the face repeatedly. They're channeling Ole & Arn big time in this one. Some big moves that are definitely fun but the brilliance in this is in the classic structure and the performances within that structure. Orihara is amazing bleeding & selling and getting his ass kicked. Togo & Gedo are just perfect in their role as heels. Even the screwy finish adds to the ambiance for a throwback style match like this. Really enjoyed this one.
These two teams have several other matches in 2001 and I'd definitely encourage watching all of them. They're all worked pretty differently and well done. Fun little hidden gem of a feud.
